living on the street. >> most of the people that use this place live on the west side of san francisco and the single biggest dem graph probably are asian. >> those running the recycling center says when the sheriff comes to evict they will leave peacefully but word is some supporters may not give up so easily. reporting live in san francisco, rob ross, ktvu channel 2 news. a new study of a breast cancer drug could change treatment of the disease, especially for younger women. british researchers found that breast cancer patients who stay on the hormone blocking drug tomoxofen for a longer period of time drastically cut their chances of recurrence. women who took the drug for ten years instead of five lowered their risk of recurrence by 25%. . a small study may be welcome news for patients who dread colonoscopies. the study suggests that testing chemicals in your breast may be able to detect colon cancer.

taken by a satellite at night. this video here shows the earth lit up by city lights in various parts of the globe. it was taken by a new satellite for nasa and the national weather service and was released just this week during a conference in san francisco. scientists say the new day/knightsen sore on the satellite makes it possible to view previously unobserved events on earth such as nighttime cloud formation. we have gotten a lot of rain over the last couple days. are we pretty much done for now. >> we've got a break in the showers. they're very light. might be a few more tonight but it's really winding down so that's the good news. again this was more of a run of the mill storm as compare today those we saw over the weekend or sunday. live storm tracker 2 picks out showers here and i've had reports of modern rain fall up in the hills above san jose hose but, again, most of it is dying down. tonight we're looking for wet ground, cool long nights in valley fog to form so that's

really the weather story. mostly cloudy with drizzle remaining but when you get up late tonight or early tomorrow morning look for the valley fog and that will be sort of a trend into the bay area weekend because we're going into dry pattern a few days. tomorrow morning wherever it was really weshths the valley, the low-lying areas, fog is going to have no problem forming so tomorrow morning -- even that fog you see over in richmond, even that kind of fog that kind of settles over the bay, not just over the low-lying areas. so high pressure sets up for a few days. that allows the fog to form and pushes rainstorms to the north of us. there might be a little bit of wind this week and gusty winds but for the most part this high pressure stays, keeps us dry and keeps the fog in tact for the morning hours. 11:00 tonight the showers trended off. very little to speak of and then there you go. as you get into tomorrow morning it's clearing out. you see some valley fog out here towards concord and livermore then it burns off and then for the first time in awhile here we got a nice little dry period

coming up. forecast highs tomorrow, 60 in napa, 58 in fairfield, 50 in san francisco so a break in the storms brings the fog back and any time you see valley fog you know it's a stable pattern. it needs a stable pattern, strong high pressure for it to form and so we're in a pattern right now where some of the long-range models are suggest really no rain or anything significant for five, six, seven, eight days, something like that so we're definitely looking dry but we're doing great. there's your bay area weekend in view. we'll talk about those tonight on the 10:00 broadcast but some of the per sents of average are for this time of year doing really well over 150% in many bay area cities. so drying out, fog back in the forecast, could it be dry for a few days. >> all right. good stuff. thank you, bill. we mention add few days ago that opd and the city are hold ago news conference right now and we'll go to it because mayor is speaking about the fact that opd appears to have escaped going under federal receivership. listening now to mayor jean quan. >> and putting in the compliance

officer that we think will help move us faster. i really hope to be done with all of the items within the year and those are all that are in -- in -- in -- in the statement that was filed today but we're just grateful. it is not final until the judge rules however. we're optimistic because we've all signed in, we've all agreed and because judge gave us this opportunity to meet directly with the plaintiffs and to work out this teal and it's been really months and months in the making and a lot of hard work by the police department, our city add min strays other negotiations now so they're not here and they're join us a little later for this town hall meeting but thank you very much. i'm going to let the chief say a few word s and thank him for his hard work on this. >> good afternoon. this is a very monoyu mentous moment in our department. of coursely we've been working hard to demonstrate to the courts and to the public that we can police ourselves and that

this department can practice constitutional policing. i want to thank the judge and all the monitors and all the -- the stake holders that were involved in this collaborative effort to help the department become a 21st century department. this is a team effort. i look forward to working closely with the compliance director on all the other stake holders to make sure that we are in compliance with the orders that the judge issued some ten years ago. thank you. >> okay. so we have about ten minutes before we have to go start this town hall meeting so i'm only going to take a few questions here. >> very much like receivership, though, there will still be a compliance officer that will be above the chief. explain the difference. >> i think as a compliance officer that works with the police, he does, yes, have a right to overrule him to a certain level, but, you know, i want to say this about howard jordan. howard jordan is the chief i picked partly because i knew coming from the inside that he

could make the changes and -- and i think he's worked really hard. i doubt personally that there are going to be very many times where we disagree. that's the way it's been with the monitor and i don't suspect we're going to have that many disagreements with the compliance officer. this is something we want. oakland has the stake in making sure that the community trusts the police department. we're not going to make a dent in crime in the city until the whole community trusts this police department. i trust this chief to get us the compliance. >> if i could answer your question, too. one of the biggest difference between a receiver model and what we have today is that as you know in the -- in the state case that judge henderson oversaw, the parties did not have an opportunity to negotiate or to develop a plan to help them get into compliance the california prison. here we have an opportunity to develop a plan for success. we have an opportunity to nominate people for that position, and i think the fact that we're working together with

all o stake holders to make the department better sa lot better than the alternatives, which is no say in the future of the department. like the mayor said, this all goes to our credibility in terms of making the department, you know, trustworthy in the eye of the community and in the eye of the officers. we're a professional organization. that's something we all want. i think everyone that was at that table wants opd to be at the forefront of leading in terms of constitutional policing and building and supporting and maintaining public trusts. >> are you saying this is more of a collaboration with the feds rather than them taking over and telling you what to do. >> absolutely. and -- because we -- one of the frustrations we have in the past is because the monitor model is we get these reports months and months later. now with the agreement of the compliance officer we'll be work pretty much on a day-to-day, week to week level to implement the reforms together. >> what about how many reforms or orders are outstanding and

you said within the year, by the end of 2013. there are a number of them. they're all actually listed in the order specifically as to what they are. i don't have the exact numbers. obviously we have some very -- some time lines that we have to meet. we have a status conference in june, then in december of 2013, the judge will have another hearing to determine whether we've made progress, but there are some milestones in there, benchmarks that are going to be developed collaboratively with the help of the compliance director, independent monitor, the opoa, the city and all the stake holders that have worked to get us to this position. >> well, a huge development here involving the oakland mrtd. a last-minute agreement that will keep the oakland police department it appears from being taken over by the federal government. >> you heard john there asking questions of the chief. he is going to have more on this developing news for us coming up on ktvu channel 2 news at 6:00 which starts right here in just seconds
